Rare Panorama of the Napoleonic Canons Gate Caponier, Western Outer Curtain Wall, Dover Castle, Kent, UK. Also shows part of the mysterious Tudor Bulwark. A caponier (caponnier) is a type of fortification that projects into the ditch (moat) of a fortress, traverses it completely to a detached outwork , or forms a blockhouse set in the "corners" of a moat-system like those surrounding the Drop Redoudt and North Centre Bastion on Dover's Western Heights. Writing about Dover Castle in the seventh edition of a book first published in 1829, William Batcheller said: "The New Entrance was constructed to the north-west of Canon-gate, in 1797, and has a drawbridge, a caponniere under it, a tete-du-pont, and other defences." The "New Entrance" is today's Canons Gate (plural) while "Canon-gate" (singular) means the now-vanished Monk's Gate. English Heritage and Listed Building. History.
